Holder in Backplot

[McRae]

Using MC9 with a rotary axis tool path in Lathe. Milling tool (with holder shown) in backplot is way out to lunch with the scale. Where is the holder stored and can I change the scale of it??

The default data path for mill tools in Mastercam v9 lathe is set to MCAM9MILLTOOLS,

 

The MC9 file for holder is HOLDER.MC9

(MCAM9MILLTOOLSHOLDER.MC9)

 

And yes, you can scale it.

Actually, V9 currently looks for a file named HOLDER.MC8. You can edit the holder to your liking and save with an MC8 extension.
